Tension mounts in Lagos collation centre over missing ballot booklets

A NAN Correspondent who was at the centre between 7.35 a.m. and 8.30 a.m., reports that the Peoples Democratic Party agents were protesting over the missing booklets.

Mr Aladiyan said the party would not participate in the election without the missing booklets, adding that similar thing happened in 2015. “That is how we lost in 2015 election. We participated in the exercise, thinking it would favour us, only for the missing booklets to find their ways to ballot. We don’t want to be fooled again,” he said.

An INEC official from Kosofe, who preferred anonymity, said the officers that collected the materials only counted cartons from CBN, stressing that if they had counted the booklets in cartons, they would have found out about the missing items.The Police Area Commander of Area H Ogudu, Miller Dantawaye who led other security agents to provide security cover for the centre and Kosofe area, confirmed that he was there when they discovered the that the booklets were missing.
